Christmas 2009

Well I better hurry and put up Christmas pics before I forget and it becomes too late. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day with Lee's family up in Layton. It was a lot of fun because his sister Marian and her husband Clint and our niece Andie were over. As well as his Aunt and cousin and her family on Christmas Eve. We went and walked around Layton park and looked at the lights. They were the most hilarious, random lights ever. Nothing at all to do with Christmas. Like there was a giant whale and peacock, then a dragon or dinosaur or whatnot. We loved it! After that we just spent time as a family and talked. We spent the night and woke up Christmas morning around 7. We ate breakfast and looked through stockings then did gifts. We only brought 1/3 of the presents for Owen but it was plenty. He had a great time learning to rip off wrapping paper and playing with toys! Of course I was a dummy and forgot our camera so I borrowed Lee's moms camera for a few morning shots.
He sure was spoiled between Santa and the grandparents! Santa brought him a construction truck he has been dying for! Everytime we go to the toy isle, he pulls the same ones out and plays forever. Seriously, that toy was designed specifically for Owen!
Marian brought their dog Daisy down as well. Owen just had a blast playing with her. The boy loves animals! He loved to climb all over her and pretend to ride her and just hug her. How sweet!
We then put the ornery child down for a nap and watched Harry Potter then had a wonderful meal of prime rib. After that we left and stopped by my parents for more gifts and more food. It was a great day and we got so many presents that we loved! Owen ended up with many cars, tractors and trucks, a train table, a scooter, a basketball hoop, a wagon, a guitar, some cute clothes, a train, a fridge magnet thing, and some dinosaurs. We decided to just give him a few more gifts when we got home and are saving the rest for his birthday. I guess Santa just went overboard! Lee and I got a new computer and a really nice 24 inch monitor for it, a new camera and I got a new ipod! Yea! Finally. We then went today and took some of the money we got from our parents and bought Lee a gun cabinet for all his guns. Finally they are locked up and safe and the baby's new room is officially ready to be organized!
It was a great Christmas! Christmas is seriously so much funner with kids. I must say that I was utterly exhausted from it and I am glad it is over, but it definitely was fun while it lasted! I hope everyone had just as great a Christmas! :)
